SIPA dean: OK, fine, you can tweet about WikiLeaks

Worried about whether your Facebook status update will ruin your chances at a government job? Well, SIPA's dean has got your back. Despite a warning from the school's Office of Career Services about responsible social networking, Dean John Coatsworth concedes that it's his students' prerogative to tweet what they will.

In an email sent out today to SIPA students, Dean Coatsworth clarified SIPA's position on the Wiki-drama: "SIPA's position is that students have a right to discuss and debate any information in the public arena that they deem relevant to their studies or to their roles as global citizens, and to do so without fear of adverse consequences."

So go forth and tweet what is sure to be your immeasurable contribution to the world about classified government information. As long as it is relevant to your role as a global citizen, you are good to go.
